But you can also expect a weekend full of serendipity and exploration:
- Learn 3 simple, beautiful songs themed around river and mama in song circles throughout the weekend.
- Play group mind games around the fire and lunch table to explore mindfulness tricks.
Friday Evening:
- Get re-acquainted with our starry skies by finding your bearings on the ground and mapping the skies above with crystals on a starboard (planetary mapping tool)
Saturday:
- Receive a private natural astrology and moon synastry session with your son or daughter.
- Discover beauty and honor your family’s mothers from times past as we build a community mandala to our ancestors.
